I was using my timing light as the car was heating up to full temp, when she got to full temp, my light wasn't flashing consitently, it would flash then not then flash. I'm gonna test it on my 02 ranger see if it's the light and if it works, then it's the pertronix conversion kit.

Also since you made a cam change you may want to try using a lighter stepup rod spring:Edelbrock 1464 - Edelbrock Performer Step-Up Spring Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com as the Carter and Edelbrocks can be sensitive to a rougher than stock idle which cause the metering rods to "bounce" this will cause a rich condition and erratic idle.

My Cam is a Comp Cams CL51-221-4, hasn't been changed at all, I run it at stock timing 6* BTDC, it was suggested to run it at 12* BTDC from a member here. this carb has always been an issue, I can get others to run but this one baffles me.
It's Primaries are .100 and sec. .095 and the rods are 70x47 and if I put in 75x47 it'll run a little better. She sputters and surges and misses like I have a vac leak, I've sprayed everything I can see and no rise in rpms

I tried carb cleaner around the base, all vac connections and the ones with plugs in them. no idle change.
Just a lot of sputtering, won't even think of road testing, but acceleration has no lag.
I am just puzzled

It's not a SBC, it's a 67 326 Pontiac, the ignition was just converted to a ingitor conversion, I had a 3721SA carb on there, it runs good, very slight miss, no popping, but could be spark plugs or I have to use universal wires 7mm.
The fuel pump is new and a high performance pump, I installed a holley pressure regulator on it, all is new.

I'll give it a try, so you think my issues is the timing? I had somone say they thought I had it to far advanced. Might be the cam.
It's a Comp Cam CL-51-221-4, I was told to run it at stock timing.
Thank you

Yes!
Make sure you plug off the vacuum to your vacuum advance.
With that short tab on your timing cover another way to set the timing is with a dial back to zero timing light.

Bump your timing up to 12*.

I have this stuff already and been through it and through it. I do Thank You, maybe I should reread it?

It will smoothen out when I accelerate, but at idle it is crappy, still wondering if I should just give up on this carb.
You all think it's best to use it for parts? or get it professional help?

He's a pics for you, the center line is 0 and top is a 4 ATDC and the bottom is a 6 BTDC, this is all my cover has on it.

I was trying to get it running good again, it's what started me looking for a better carb, which I have now.
Maybe the 9635SA is beyond repair and is ready for retirement, I know I have been trying to for the last 4 or 5 months now get it running good and it won't, and while testing out different carbs.

Well that should work just like the eddy one.
I think you need to decide on a carb and fine tune your combo.
Take a pic of the timing tab on your motor for us!!!

I get one for you
I install a gasket on the manifold then the spacer and a gasket on the top of spacer then carb. all have 4 holes in them.
